Oleoresin as Natural Flavor Booster
Oleoresins are natural extracts obtained from plants, encapsulating the essence of spices and herbs. It is a complex mixture of resin and essential oils, capturing the distinctive flavors, aromas, and bioactive compounds. Oleoresins are commonly used in the culinary world and food industry to enhance flavors [1].
